Vinted
Vinted's help page: "There are no selling fees on Vinted. Buyers will continue to pay this fee at checkout, as before." The fee used to be called the Buyer Protection fee. Vinted says the rename isn't a new or additional fee and the calculation hasn't changed. No percentage is given.
Depop
Depop announced on July 15, 2024 that it was removing its 10% selling fee for US sellers. In its place, from July 18, buyers pay a marketplace fee of up to 5% of the item price plus up to $1, excluding taxes and postage. The same post says the usual payment processing fee still applies to sellers.
Whatnot
Whatnot is the only one of the three that takes a commission from sellers, and the structure changed this fall. The tiered system took effect September 21, 2026 for existing sellers. Your total sales over a four-week window set your tier, the tier sets your rate for the next window, and everything resets every 28 days. Rates vary by category. Whatnot's US rates (help page updated Nov 2, 2026):
| Category | Standard $0 to $14,999 | Tier 1 $15,000 to $34,999 | Tier 2 $35,000 to $49,999 | Tier 3 $50,000 to $99,999 | Tier 4 $100,000 to $249,999 | Tier 5 $250,000 to $499,999 | Tier 6 $500,000+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sports | 8.00% | 7.75% | 7.50% | 7.25% | 7.00% | 6.75% | 6.50% |
| TCG | 8.00% | 7.75% | 7.50% | 7.25% | 7.00% | 6.75% | 6.50% |

| Other collectibles | 8.00% | 7.25% | 6.50% | 6.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% |
| Coins | 4.00% | 3.90% | 3.80% | 3.70% | 3.60% | 3.55% | 3.50% |
| Other | 8.00% | 7.00% | 6.50% | 5.50% | 4.00% | 4.00% | 4.00% |
Commission is charged on the item's sale price, not on buyer-paid shipping or tax. Processing is separate and is calculated on everything the buyer pays, shipping and taxes included. The text on the same page says rates go "as low as 3%"; the lowest figure in the US table is 3.50%, for Coins.
Example: a $50 fashion sale
Say a $50 item with $5 shipping and no sales tax, from a seller in Whatnot's Standard tier.
- Whatnot: 8% of $50 is $4.00 commission, plus processing of 2.9% of $55 and $0.30, about $1.90. About $5.90 in total.
- Vinted: the seller pays no selling fee. The buyer pays the Vinted fee on top.
- Depop: no selling fee; the seller pays payment processing, at a rate the announcement doesn't give. The buyer pays the marketplace fee.
